Match tied after 18 holes: what happens?

Your 18-hole match is tied after the final hole. The Terms of the Competition say nothing about this. What is the ruling?

Answer

You continue hole by hole until one of you wins a hole

If a match is tied after the final hole, it is extended one hole at a time until there is a winner. Normally play continues with the 1st hole. The match ends in a tie only if the Terms of the Competition say so.
